Anthony Vaccarello Slays The Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2021 Collection

Through incorporating a nostalgia-inducing range of iconic pieces from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, the all-new Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2021 collection featured this generation’s biggest influencers and stars, such as BLACKPINK‘s Rosé, Lily Collins and Kaia Gerber, sporting key pieces from the new season which most notably included a pair of bike shorts. Hitting just above the knee, these shorts boast a touch of subtle branding with the iconic YSL logo stitched into the hem.

Showcasing the wildest combinations of juice purple panty-shorts, off-the-shoulder nude tops with ruffled sleeves, polka-dot stockings, straight tailored blazer-dresses, and an abundance of floral and leather pieces, complemented by the tallest and definitely not desert-friendly footwear – YSL has once again surpassed the unparalleled lengths models and designers are willing to go in order to put on a groundbreaking show.
